Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) continues making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Greene was expelled from her committees after resurfaced social media posts revealed she expressed support for the execution of her now-colleagues and for deranged conspiracy theories that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton murders children and drinks their blood, that the devastating California wildfires were started by space lasers, and that school shootings are coordinated by Democrats to weaken public support for the Second Amendment.


At the time of the expulsion, Greene insisted that she felt freed by the development, because she'd have more time out of committee to spread her message beyond just her constituents.

We're starting to get a better idea of what that looks like—and it's not pretty.

This week, news broke that—as businesses begin to reopen—President Joe Biden's administration was considering an initiative for the private sector creation of a "vaccine passport" that would allow Americans to easily prove to businesses they've been vaccinated against the virus that's killed over 500 thousand Americans.

Greene, who rages against the wearing of masks and rejects virtually every safety measure recommended by health experts, leapt to decry the idea of a vaccine passport on Twitter.

For the unfamiliar, the Christian bible, particularly the book of Revelations, details an insignia or mark for followers of the Antichrist—and a false prophet who manipulates people into receiving the mark which seals them out of Heaven.

The pandemic has already prompted conspiracy theorists to speculate about a "mark of the beast," and it seems to be the latest conspiracy theory Greene is tacitly promoting.

People were astounded.




The White House has emphasized that the vaccine passports would be a private sector initiative to be used as a tool for businesses who choose to request proof of vaccination for their patrons, or—as is already the plan in New York—for venues like Madison Square Garden to begin holding large scale events.

The constant refusal of some Americans like Greene to help build a safe way forward was infuriating to many.




As many pointed out, proof of vaccination is already required for a number of processes in the U.S., including school enrollment, military service, and some international travel.

AOC Expertly Mocks Republicans Who Are Crying Foul Over Virginia's Redistricting Vote: 'Wah, Wah, Wah'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mocked Republicans who are complaining about their Virginia redistricting loss, explaining to reporters why they're so preoccupied about the possibility of Democrats picking up additional seats in the House of Representatives in this year's midterm elections.

The new lines would shift the state’s congressional balance from a current 6–5 Democratic edge to a projected 10–1 advantage, with only one Republican-leaning district in the conservative southwest.

A 'Fake Egg' Prank Targeting Kids Is Trending On TikTok—But Not Everyone Thinks It's Funny

In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
